This is a personal "taste", and I suppose you are an experienced computer user as everyone on this mailing list. The last time i opened the Font capplet to change something was... humm.. 2 years ago... IMHO it's better to keep them separated for average (and sub-average) users, so they can simply discover them. Reading Appearance in the Preferences list, do you think everyone can figure that it's the place to tune fonts? > I see that a separate Accessibility capplet is proposed as well, > though, so perhaps this wouldn't be an issue any more anyway, > depending on its precise contents.

Well, for this kind of needs i was thinking about something like the attached mochup[1]. Of course it overlaps the Theme, Font and Background capplets, and sets more keys with a single widget[2], but if you need to setup an environment for impaired users it's quick and simple. 1. Strings suck, I know 2. i.e. I believe that activating the "Using computer I've difficulties with font size" option, the system should use Sans font at the same size everywhere (window border, desktop, applications..)
